MAPPING project
The MAPPING project
Pregnancy complications are often associated with abnormal development and interaction between the cardiovascular system of mother and fetus. MAPPING aims at modelling the coupling between the cardiovascular systems of mother and fetus as pregnancy progresses. The coupling model, which will be rendered to doctors through a graphical representation, makes use of multimodal recordings (mostly ultrasound and electrophysiological) as inputs. Based on such a model, pregnancy complications will ultimately be predicted through machine learning.
MAPPING investigates this coupling by:
1) generating a clinical dataset as a basis to develop comprehensive models of the mother-fetus coupling;
2) providing visual maps of this coupling;
3) developing automated detection of pregnancy complications based on differences in the coupling maps.
MAPPING contributes to improving our understanding of normal and pathological pregnancies, and paves the way for the development of diagnostic tools for timely diagnosis and, ultimately, prediction of pregnancy complications, leading to improved and early treatment and pregnancy outcome.
